    HF means high fidelity, and was a Lancia owners club or program that reward the most loyal customers with a lots of things like reserved invitation at the new car's presentations all offered by lancia and a series of premium services. You can enter in that club buying at least 6 new cars for yourself or your family, and inside there was a sort of division in tier, with the top tear (which gave the right to the golden hi-fi Lancia badge) at 50 cars. The club was born in the 1960 at the Geneva motor show, and was founded for the purpose of: "Lancia Hi-Fi ideally brings together all motorists who have demonstrated a particular loyalty to Lancia over time. Its purpose is to
    strengthen the bonds of sympathy and cordiality between members and Lancia".

    Thats fantastic. John Campion's hero was Cork's famous rally driver Billy Coleman. Billy famously campaigned a private Stratos (owned by Graham Warner - Chequered Flag) in the UK during the late '70s. The car had been crashed and rebuilt so many times - without any support from Lancia - and still remained competitive, a testament to the strength of that chassis.
    RIP John.
